Note from Dr. Goodwin – December 19, 2025

Dear Schofield Community, 

The Grade 5 Winter Solstice concert was sublime this morning!  Huge thanks to all of our Grade 5 students, Mr. Polletto, Ms. Messore, Mrs. Sullivan, Mr. Doyle and Mr. Moretti.  Also, many thanks to all Grade 5 parents/guardians who came out to support their child(ren) and the entire grade!  

Huge thanks to Carrie Scott Sullivan, Schofield parent, for her leadership efforts in supporting our 5th grade students that provided some holiday cheer at a reception for senior citizens who reside at the River Street Senior Housing.  From all reports, it was a wonderful experience!  

I wanted to continue to wish a Happy Hanukkah to those who have been celebrating it this week.  

Finally, Merry Christmas and Joyous Kwanzaa for those who will be celebrating these respective holidays in the days to come.
